DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This planning grant requested by The University at Texas at El Paso (UTEP) will focus efforts on the development of an innovative program called BUILDing SCHOLARS (Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity: Southwest Consortium of Health-Oriented education Leaders and Research Scholars). The long-term goal is to design a program that will train the next generation of biomedical scientists from US Southwest underrepresented groups through the creation of a multi-institution consortium to include Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. The specific aims of the intended BUILDing SCHOLARS are as follows: (1) solidify the intra- and cross-institutional network and work together with leaders fro partner institutions to develop a highly effective program for training and mentoring undergraduate students; (2) conduct a formal capacities/needs-assessment of biomedical and socio-behavioral research training infrastructure at UTEP and partner institutions to inform the design of the program; and (3) develop strategic activities for the student training and mentoring aspect of the program. The first aim will be achieved through a series of conference calls, virtual collaborative meetings and site visits and will culminate in a face-to-face workshop at UTEP with leaders from all consortium institutions to develop the strategic plan. The second aim will be addressed through surveys of students and faculty members, and program director interviews at the primary and partner institutions. The third aim will be achieved through the development of recruitment and retention strategies, a mentor training plan, an advisory committee, and an evaluation model. The activities are innovative in part because of the trans-disciplinary emphasis on Hispanic Health; the use of an assets bundling approach to overcoming research training barriers; integration of technology to link partners and enhance student connectivity; and development of courses (face-to-face, online and blended) that integrate disciplines and institutions. This planning application is significant because it takes a regional approach to designing a multi-institutional biomedical research training and mentoring program that will meet the needs of underrepresented groups concentrated in the US Southwest.

描述（由申请人提供）：德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校 (UTEP) 申请的这项规划拨款将重点开发一项名为“建设学者”（建设导致多样性的基础设施：西南健康导向教育领导者联盟）的创新计划。和研究学者）。长期目标是设计一个计划，通过创建一个包括德克萨斯州、新墨西哥州和亚利桑那州在内的多机构联盟，培训来自美国西南部代表性不足群体的下一代生物医学科学家。拟建学者的具体目标如下：（1）巩固机构内和跨机构网络，与合作机构的领导者合作，制定高效的本科生培训和指导计划； (2) 对 UTEP 和合作机构的生物医学和社会行为研究培训基础设施进行正式的能力/需求评估，为项目的设计提供信息； (3) 为该计划的学生培训和指导方面制定战略活动。第一个目标将通过一系列电话会议、虚拟会议和虚拟会议来实现 协作会议和实地考察，最后将在 UTEP 与所有联盟机构的领导人举行面对面研讨会，以制定战略计划。第二个目标将通过对学生和教职员工的调查以及对主要机构和合作机构的项目主任访谈来实现。第三个目标将通过制定招聘和保留策略、导师培训计划、咨询委员会和评估模型来实现。这些活动具有创新性，部分原因是对西班牙裔健康的跨学科强调；使用资产捆绑方法克服研究培训障碍；整合技术以连接合作伙伴并增强学生的联系；开发整合学科和机构的课程（面对面、在线和混合）。该规划应用意义重大，因为它采用区域方法来设计多机构生物医学研究培训和指导计划，以满足集中在美国西南部代表性不足群体的需求。
